I need to re-run some Cat5 data runs in my house. I estimate that a 500'
spool should be plenty (probably 250' should work). The no-name brand at
Lowes is fairly pricey, and I haven't checked with Computer Cable
Connection in Bellevue. Any other local places to check before buying?
I need this real soon, so Amazon Prime might be an option. But everything
that I'm seeing there seems to be "Copper Clad Aluminum" as opposed to
solid copper wires. I'm a bit hesitant about CCA, but if enough people
tell me it's perfectly fine I'll give it a shot. (My current cables are
~12 years old and are solid copper.)
Thanks,
Dan
